Department of Interior and Local Government 11 (DILG 11) regional director Alex Roldan on Friday said they are on the stage of evaluating the planned uniformed StaySafe.Ph.
To boost the country’s contact tracing program amid the rising number of Covid-19 cases, DILG renewed its call to all local government units (LGUs) and the general public to use and patronize the StaySafe.Ph application for digital contact tracing.
“StaySafe.Ph naa na sa DILG sa pagka-karon. We are now in the process of evaluating it para mahimong uniform pud ang atong QR codes nationwide,” Roldan said in a virtual presser.
StaySafe.Ph app, is the country’s official contact tracing, health condition reporting, and social distancing system.
“Isa pud ni sa atoang problema kay lain-lain ang lugar lain-lain ang QR codes. Gina-evaluate karon kung unsa ang gyud ang dynamics ani ug unsa na IT infrastructure ang required. We don’t want to be in a situation na kung i-roll out na nato, pagkahuman muingon ang mga tao ngano dili man mi maka register?” he said.
Roldan said with StaySafe.PH it will be easier and more efficient to contact trace and monitor the movement of the people.
The app engages the public against the spread of Covid-19 and aggregates all reports available in desktop and mobile versions, allowing the government to respond quickly to people’s needs and make informed and timely decisions to keep Filipinos safe during the pandemic.
“It will make people more responsible kay didto sa app mura ka ug naay imong tubagon like how do you feel today? Gi ubo ba ka? Muabot ang imong data sa Department of Health and then kung mu read didto na basin positive ka puwede ka nila paadtuan ug medical experts para ma check ka dayon. Mas better ni nga system,” he said.
Roldan added that the unified StaySafe.PH is expected to be rolled out in the next few months.
